Difference between EvGA and BFG?

whats the difference between EvGa and BFG because i want to get a new graphics card but dont know which one to get in terms of BFG or EvGADifference between EvGA and BFG?
They are both respectable brands, both with step up programs, both with lifetime warranty. Just get the one that is more convenient/cheaper for you.Difference between EvGA and BFG?
cool because i was thinking of getting a EvGA graphics card because it is more convenient and cheaper for me like you said. but i was just wondering what the difference was thanks.:D
Evga has amazing support. There's always someone on the forums answering questions.
eVGA requires that you register the card within 30 days of purchase in order to attain lifetime warranty protection with the card from them; otherwise, you're only warrantied for the first year (read the terms on their site - they're very careful to specify this). As far as I am aware, you do not have to register a BFG Tech card on their site to maintain lifetime warranty status with it.



eVGA also tends to sell factory overclocked cards that go a lot faster than BFG's standard ''OC'' offerings. It takes a while before BFG offers cards that are more aggressively overclocked (usually needing for there to be an ''OC2'' or OC2E monicker to get this).



Other than that, it then boils down to who's on sale at the time, as they both have similar (minimal) bundling with their products.

Nowadays, they have heavy competition in the factory OC'd field, so that's not the case anymore.

[/QUOTE]When BFG started their step-up program they also started requiring people register the cards with them within 30 days also.
XFX is better then either of them.
[QUOTE=''Truth_Hurts_U'']XFX is better then either of them.[/QUOTE]While I personally like XFX, I would not say they are better, equal, but not better.The biggest difference is that XFX has the double-lifetime warranty. The step-up program is nice, but if you know you won't be upgrading for 90 days (100 with BFG) then the double-lifetime warranty is better.I have never had to RMA anything with BFG or XFX, but I have with EVGA. Their cross-ship option is very nice, not sure if XFX or BFG do the same.But all 3 companies require you to register within 30 days, or you just get a 1 year warranty.

I heard that XFX allows volt modding on their cards, which is not allowed (I believe) by BFG/eVGA. But realistically, there are very few people who would take a soldering iron to their precious video cards

I have heard this before, but it clearly state on the warranty page that they do not.Shame too, cause I was going to go crazy with my 8800GTX,:P*EDIT*HA, now according to XFX's website, they don't even cover overclocking anymore. I just called, but their phones system said they would be down for another hour or two. I am going to find out what is going on, cause when I bought my card, they were talking all that ''Modder Friendly'' crap. ''XFX does NOT warrant cards that have been tampered with (ie. Overclocked) by the user''I hope this is an error, if not, bye-bye XFX.
